Cat® MD6240 Rotary Drill introduced

The Cat^® MD6240, one of the world’s best-selling rotary blasthole drills, continues a legacy of leadership built and sustained by Bucyrus over a 70-year period. With a bit load force of 24 000 kg (52,900 lb) and the ability to drill to depths of 55.5 m (182 ft), the MD6240 is ideal for high-production drilling in hard- or soft-rock applications. The rotary drill incorporates heavy-duty structures, rugged Cat components, a comfortable cab, convenient service access and many other features that reduce cycle time, improve productivity and lower ownership costs. The machine can now be ordered with Terrain for drilling, a Cat MineStar^™ System capability set that uses advanced guidance technology to improve drilling safety, efficiency and productivity.
